I e-mailed Chase's teacher one evening and said, "My son keeps telling me that the thing you're sending home is maths -- but I'm not sure I believe him. Help, please." She e-mailed right back and said, "No problem! I can help Chase after school anytime." And I said, "No, not him. Me. He gets it. Help me."And that’s why I stayed with Chase’s maths teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like maths and reading are not the most important things that are learned in a classroom. We also talked about something else —— kindness and bravery.And then she told me this.Every Friday afternoon Chase's teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children with whom they'd like to sit with the following week. She also asks the students to nominate(推荐) one student who they think is the most popular student that week. They needn’t write down their names on the paper.After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper, and studies them.In fact, Chase's teacher is not looking for a new seating chart (表)or "popular students." She is looking for lonely(孤独的) children. She's looking for the ones who are unwilling to connect with others. She is discovering whose gifts(天赋) are not noticed by their classmates. Then she gets to know who needs help.After watching Columbine the wise woman realized that all violence(暴力) comes from loneliness. So she decided to start fighting violence early and often, and what she is doing is SAVING LIVES.And she finds the lonely kids through those lists and tries to help them. It's maths to her. All is love – even maths.( ) 6.____ wants to get help according to the first paragraph of the passage?A. Chase B. Chase’s teacherC. Chase’s parent D. the popular student( ) 7.Why does Chase’s teacher ask her students to write down some names on paper?A. Because she wants to find the lonely children B. Because she is looking for a new seating chart.C. Because She is looking for the popular students.D. Because she wants to help her students learn maths.( ) 8.Which of the following is the correct order?a. Chase’s teacher asks her students to write down some names of the students they want to sit withb. Chase’s teacher learns from the TV that violence comes from loneliness.c. Chase’s parent emails the teacher for help.d. Chase’s teacher studies the lists after school. e. Chase’s teacher finds who needs helpA. c-a-d-e-b B. b-a-c-e-d C. b-a-d-e-c D. a-b-d-c-e( ) 9. What do you know about the teacher? A. She’s a humorous teacher. B. She’s kind and full of love C. She’s good at teaching maths. D. She’s ready to help the parents.( ) 10. The best title should be ______?A. Looking for the lonely B. Learning maths C. Teaching Children D. Looking for the Lonely 五、单词拼写 （本大题共10分，每小题1分）1. Our monitor has a good ________ (意识) of time.
